Emergency Lighting
Regular Checks & Tests
Maintenance is integral to any competent commercial safety system. So, emergency lighting is a fundamental part of any modern commercial safety plans. Therefore, it must be regularly checked to ensure functionality and legal/manufacturer compliance.
The following test procedures are designed to continually optimise any premises’ safety lighting system. These tests must be carried out on a regular basis with details of each test preserved in an on-site log.
Regular Tests
